Kimberly Brown

Immediately, I had to start reading food labels in order to ensure that what we were giving him was safe. This process opened up a whole new world to me. I started to question ingredients that I couldn't pronounce and that I didn’t think should be in the food we were consuming.

There is so much information available to us and my goal is to make it as simple and user-friendly as I can for my clients.
